Bug#1098512: linux-perf: `perf report` shows `Cannot load tips.txt file, please install perf!`

[Paul Menzel <pmenzel@molgen.mpg.de>]

Package: linux-perf
Version: 6.12.15-1
Severity: normal


Dear Debian folks,


With

    $ LANG= dpkg -l linux-perf
    […]
    ii  linux-perf     6.12.15-1    amd64        Performance analysis 
tools for Linux

recording a profile and trying to show it

    $ sudo perf record -a -g -F 999
    ^C[ perf record: Woken up 42 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 11,877 MB perf.data (59158 samples) ]

    $ sudo chown pmenzel: perf.data
    $ perf report perf.data

the profile is loaded, but nothing is displayed, and only the header is 
shown, and at the bottom the message below is written:

    perf report` shows Cannot load tips.txt file, please install perf!

The file is shipped by `linux-perf`, but it’s compressed:

    $ dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/linux-perf/tips.txt.gz
    linux-perf: /usr/share/doc/linux-perf/tips.txt.gz

Uncompressing the file, the message is not shown anymore. Still nothing 
is shown, but that is for another bug report.


Kind regards,

Paul
